SUBJECT: Communication from Elizabeth Mac Queen
I understand that Ms. Mac Queen, or her representative,will address the Council at this
evening's meetingconcerning her interest in gaining exemption from the design review
process for a project she wishes to undertake at 369 Marsh Street. Staff has had no direct
contact concerning this request, so we are unaware of the nature and extent of the
proposed project. Thus it is very important that Council take no action that would
compromise appropriate and reasonable implementation of City polices and regulations.
For your information, in anticipation of the presentation, here is what I know of the
situation.
• Ms. Mac Queen has existing approvals for a separate and distinctly different
project at.this location, involving art studio and gallery,-and residential uses.
• Temporary authorization has been given to move to, and store on the site, the
historic Jespersen House, subject to obtaining all necessary permits and approvals.
This structure was formerly located on the site of the pending New Times office
building. The move was a cooperative effort between city staff and the owner of
the building to avoid its potential demolition.
• Moving any structure within the City requires architectural review and approval.
• 369 Marsh Street is zoned CR, Retail Commercial, which requires architectural
review for any construction on the site. This does not necessarily mean
Architectural Review Commission consideration,but perhaps could be
accommodated by a lesser review process such as Minor and Incidental. Staff will
not be able to determine the appropriate process until we know the details of the
project --
• Residential uses in the CR District require, in any case, the approval of an
Administrative Use Permit.
As can be seen from the above, much more needs to be known of the project before any
decisions can be made concerning necessary processes, or whether waivers could even be
granted.

On 2/15/00 I attended a satellite video-conference sponsored by the Public cta ion,
(hosted by City of SLO Public Works staff), to review requirements for initiation of a major
government program to clean up water storm water throughout the country. This is the second
phase of the Clean Water Act (1970s) in which all wastewater treatment plants in the country
have been required to conduct majorupgrades to their facilities. That program has now been
largely completed, and the government is now concentrating on non-point sources of pollution
with emphasis on storm drainage systems of municipalities.
This program represents a massive effort, perhaps as great as the program created out over the
last 20 years for treating wastewater. The Council will recall we spent$25 million on our most
recent wastewater treatment upgrade. The parameters of the program are now being set up,
however, it is quite possible that the only way this program can be funded by San Luis Obispo is
by means of a utility fee assessed under a storm drainage utility program. Monterey, with a
population of 32,000, has such a fee bringing in $900,000 per year to cover capital operations
and maintenance. This does not include improvements needed for flood protection, which will
cost many millions of dollars in addition.
The program will be administered in California by the State Water Resources Control Board,
with delegation to the local Regional Water Control Board, as is the'case with wastewater. The
purpose of this memo to the Council is to give advance notice of this major program (truly an
"unfunded mandate") with its huge cost implications. I believe the Public Works Department
will be presenting a complete report to the Council in the near future.

The Committee met 2/23/00 with the acting warden,L.D. Blanks. Warden Duncan has been
temporarily assigned to another prison to deal with a problem in the prison system. Warden
Blanks informed the committee that there is now a decline in the number of inmates being held at

SUBJECT: Advisory Body upport
During the interview process this year, several items were discussed with returning
advisory body members. Among the most serious concerns expressed were from
members of the Bicycle Advisory Committee and the Mass Transit Committee. I would
like to share this information and offer possible solutions.
1. Scheduled meetings: Members of both committees stated a problem with
meetings being cancelled or rescheduled by staff. (I have experienced this
myself.)
Committees meet not only review agenda items, but to also allow for public
comment, input, and understanding of the workings of our City. These are public
meetings that must be posted, as should any date or time change. Cancelled and
rescheduled meetings cause undue hardship on both our advisory board members,
and our citizens.
Resolution: Advisory Body Staff needs to place the maintenance of committee or
commission scheduled meetings as a priority in their work schedule.
2. Communication between Advisory Bodies: A lack of coordination between
committees and commissions with overlapping jurisdictions was referenced. This
creates tension among different advisory boards, and also deprives members of
the knowledge gained in other board meetings.
Resolution: Encourage committees and commissions to send representatives to
other meetings, or hold joint meetings when deemed necessary.
3. MTC Committee membership: The membership mix is awkward under current
conditions. There were several very qualified applicants who are full time users
of the transit system,but there is no appropriate "slot" in which to appoint them.
A broadening of the defined positions in the bylaws may be warranted.
RECEIVED
MAR 6 - 2000
SLO CF; �-�K
Resolution: Request the MTC to review their bylaws and recommend any
change of structure to the Council for consideration. (It was suggested that
broadening the Technical Advisor position to include a regular user of transit
services might give us the leeway needed to appoint qualified applicants.)
4. Service complaints: MTC representatives expressed a concern that not all letters
or calls regarding service in the community were being forwarded to the
committee members. This lack of communication inhibits good judgment on
routing, along with proactive decisions for upgrading the system.
Resolution: Instruct staff and contractors to forward copies of complaints (and
compliments) along with resolutions of problems to MTC members.
We are most fortunate to have many qualified individuals donating their time to
review City issues and render their advice on those issues. It is important that we
assist these people in being productive, and having a sense that their time is well
spent. Reviewing our support of the various advisory bodies, and correcting small
inconsistencies could prove valuable to our appointed members, our staff, our
Council, and ultimately our community.
With your concurrence I would recommend directing staff to carry out the above
recommendations.

increasing subsidized child care funding for families in San Luis Obispo County. The
hard work is paying off, and we are making some progress.
I am enclosing a copy of a letter from the Department of Finance at the State Capitol. It is
now being publicly recognized that there is insufficient funds for Ca1WORKs Stage 2 and
3, and Greater child care. We will receive additional funds for all of these child care
funding streams. The amount to be distributed is still being decided. I am told that the
allocations will be know within the first two weeks of February.
We have officially received augmentation for the CaIWORKs Stage i contract in the
amount of$607,808.
When the distribution of money for Stage 2, 3 and Greater child care is known, I will
send you an updated COST PROJECTIONS for 1999-2000.
Thank you again for all your support. I will see you in March for our next scheduled
Advisory Board meeting.

Pursuant to the provisions of Secdotts 26,00 and 2S.00, Budget Act of 1999• the following
re?or' is respectfully submitted.
An application is proposed for the Purpose of increasing the Department of Education's
'999-00 federal authority to fund C31WORS5 Stage 3 child cam caseload. A rewt survey
by the Department indicates that the eur rsx year UWORICs Stage 3 child am
appropriation is insidficient to meet eurrteem year demand. The Departateot esdma= the
shartfalf to be at least 56,0 million. This shortfall can be funded from federal fund savings

Child Cart and Development Fuld in an amount recently esticlated at $28.9 million this
applicat:eo pr000ses to '.mc S6.0 m""or' of� funds to tweet the current vear Stage 3
shortfall through an augments,ionto the appropriation made in Schesrule
Item 61:0-196-0007 of the Budget Act of 1999.p The remafrting sayings are (6x5 in of
Governor's Budget to help meet the 2000-01 Stage 2 caseload proposed ins the
he Department bas furlh=indicated that 5770,000 in federal Child Care and Development
Block Grant needing appropriated in the current,year for quality enhancements is in ezeess of
ctmeztly authorized expenditure plans. It is thertf0m pr000sed that *is surplus -be
transferred from Schedule(b)(11)to Schedule(6x5.2}of Item 6110-l96-0001 of the Budget
ACT of 1999 to address the Stage 3 child care shortfall The combined increase
funding would thus total 56,770,000. in Stage 3
We also believe it is possible t'oat additional funding authority, may be necessary as the
retraining months of the w mut year unfold, Because the Department's o°nreot estimate of
Stage 3 needs is based on fust Wer Stage Z caseload infom2tion only, it does not include
the Potential for additional caseload currently in Stage I which may also time out ofthe two-
year tzarsitiorura benefit provided under c==T law. Similarly, the current estimate does not

Role as Liaison for School Shows: �
All groups staging school shows at the PAC will be assessed a charge of 50 cents per
audience member in lieu of rent,ticket and facility fees. In addition, all groups will be
responsible for technical labor and house management costs.
1. Scheduling: the director will review requests for school show dates and evaluate for
compatibility with other school shows and the school district calendar.
2. Communication: the director will develop and maintain a(electronic)distribution list
for sending information to district and school officials,teachers and home-schoolers.
This list will be utilized to keep recipients up-to-date on show schedules, availability
and special offers. The director will maintain a page on the PAC web site, which will
provide comprehensive information on school shows and provide links to sponsoring
organizations.
3. Marketing/promotion: the director will create and distribute a bi-annual newsletter
with information on school shows,in-school residencies and other important
information. This newsletter will be distributed to administrators,teachers and
interested parents.
4. Teacher education: the director will encourage and support professional development
in the arts for teachers. The director will evaluate the creation of an annual
educational teacher retreat and/or artist showcase.
5. Scholarships: the director will create a scholarship program for schools with
difficulty paying for tickets for all students and/or transportation to and from the
PAC. Priority will be given to schools in out-lying areas of the county and to schools
which have never sent classes to the PAC for school shows or tours.
6. Facilities/parking: 'the director will facilitate communication between client groups
and campus entities, such as Parking Administration, to ensure understanding of
campus policies and limitation of facilities.
7. Ticketing: the director will serve as a liaison with PAC ticketing services and will
encourage all client groups to utilize tickets for school shows.
8. Seating assignments for the schools: the presenting group would be required to
submit to their ticket purchase list to the director 2-3 weeks prior to the performance.
The director will mail out seating assignment and parking/bus information at the same
time. This is extremely valuable for the house managers and ushers(and helps the
schools,too). It will help standardize all seating for the school matinee performances.
9. School tours: the director will promote and facilitate tours for school classes.
Role in support of performances featuring school-ageo�uth:
1. School performing groups wishing to use the PAC for concerts which feature school-
age performers will coordinate their efforts through YOPAC. Groups will be
responsible for technical labor and house management costs and will pay $1 per
audience member in lieu of rent,ticket and facility fees. All such events will be
general admission houses. Tickets for such events may be allocated in a block to the
sponsoring agency for sale to patrons. A certain number of tickets will be held back
for sale through the PAC ticket office. T6 sponsoring agency will pay$1.75 per
L2-2
audience member in lieu of rent for sales through the ticket office. Ticket prices for
such events may not exceed $5 per person.
2. YOPAC may co-sponsor a limited number of benefit events with campus or
community groups annually, e.g_ Mock Rock,Partnership for the Children. Groups
will be responsible for technical labor and house management costs and will pay 200/a
of their ticket revenue(min. $lpp)in lieu-of rent,ticketing and facility fees.
3. YOPAC will co-sponsor a"tech camp"to expose school-age kids to back stage work
at the PAC.
Role in co-sponsoring benefits for children's causes
YOPAC may elect to co-sponsor of a limited number of concerts designed to benefit both
YOPAC and a local children's cause(s). YOPAC and the co-sponsoring organization
will evenly divide the profit(loss)resulting from event sales after PAC and sponsor
direct costs are deducted. YOPAC will share in proceeds from cash"sponsorships"
under a formula to be negotiated.
Role in community outreach:
1. Open houses: open houses are designed to familiarize campus and community
patrons with the PAC facility and operation. The director will determine if it's best to
have separate open house events for the campus and community. It may well be the
case that the best time to interest campus constituencies, including parents(WOW
Week, Parents Weekend, Homecoming, Open House), would be a bad time for
community attendance.
2. Open rehearsals: currently, the Symphony is the only client group which sponsors an
open rehearsal. They pay rehearsal rental, tech and house management costs. They
do not pay performance rent or"in lieu"fees commonly charged for free events. The
Symphony credits the PAC with co-sponsorship for the open rehearsal. This concept
is beneficial for the client group,the PAC and community arts patrons. The director
will solicit interest for other client groups in staging open rehearsals under the same
circumstances as the Symphony.
3. Summer concert series: the director will develop plans to stage a 6-week series of
free summer concerts in 2000, including the public performance featuring the work of
tech camp students. The director will work closely with FPAC to generate
sponsorship support for the summer series.
4. Tours: the director will assume responsibility for coordination of regular and special
tours. Training of docents will remain the responsibility of the Operations Manager.

SUBJECT: SLOCOG/SLORTA LIAISON REPORT
SLOCOG
At its meeting of 2/2/00 SLOCOG received a report from Caltrans which included, among other
items, a progress report on Cuesta grade. Attached is a copy of the written information.
Executive Director's Report
The Board received a report from the Executive Director indicating that the Governor's
transportation proposal does not represent new money for the transportation system, but
implies instead a speed-up of the availability of funds. This will require that SLOCOG
shift personnel from long-range planning in an attempt to meet all state and federal
planning requirements. Neighboring counties have felt this too great a task and are not
attempting to meet deadlines. The SLOCOG staff feels this is a golden opportunity to
submit projects with little competition from other counties. Therefore, we are moving
ahead as rapidly as possible to accelerate projects. The exact amount is unknown, but
additional funds available to the region are estimated between $6 and $30 million. This
infusion of funds makes it very important that each of the cities make a priority of their
submittals for processing the projects.
One SLO project specifically mentioned by SLOCOG staff is the advance planning and
associated studies needed for the Orcutt Road grade separation.
Unmet Transit/Bikeway Needs
The Board received testimony on unmet transit needs and unmet bikeway needs.
Although there were a number of submittals regarding SLO transit services,
They were operational in nature, and have been referred to staff for study and
implemented. There are no unmet transit needs for SLO Transit that will come out of the
hearings.
L3 & L4-1
2000 Legislative Program
The Board adopted a 2000 Legislative Program for federal and state legislation, which
may occur during this next year. This is used as guidance for staff in its operation.
Attached is a copy of the objectives and policies, which correlates quite closely with the
City of SLO.
SLOPP Program
The Board approved the State Highway Operations and Protection Plan (SHOPP).
Several projects will take place in the vicinity of SLO as indicated by an asterisk on the
attached submittal.
SLORTA
Recruitment for a Regional Transit Manager
At its meeting of 2/2/00 the Board determined that it would not directly promote the
acting transit manager to the permanent position,but would recruit nationwide, with the
acting transit manager being a candidate. The recruitment will be administered by the
County Personnel Department.

SAN LUIS OBISPO COUNCIL OF GOVERNMENTS
DRAFT YEAR 2000 STATE LEGISLATIVE PROGRAM
OBJECTIVES & POLICIES
(Adopted February_, 2000)
A. Protect, enhance, and maximize the flexible use of current funding levels for transportation
programs.
1. Support legislation and administrative'policies that maximize the flexible use of current and new
funding sources.
While funding flexibility has increased significantly under SB45, additional action is needed to give local and
regional agencies the full funding required to address the various needs in each region.
2. Seek legislation to assure that an equitable share of dedicated intercity rail funding is allocated to the
regions administering each portion of the system.
Southern California has not received Its fair share of intercity rail funding.
3. Support legislation allocating State Transportation Improvement Program (STIP) funds for local road
rehabilitation and reconstruction according to regional priorities.
Our region receives significantly less funding under the Gas Tax Subvention Formula; funds should be allocated
according to regional priorities.
4. Oppose attempts to use Public Transportation Account (PTA) funds for purposes other than mass
transportation (intercity rail and transit capital &operations.
In the past the PTA has been used to provide funding for purposes benefiting limited areas of the State.
5. Support legislation or administrative policies giving Caltrans the authority to implement Federal 'High
Priority' projects in a timely manner consistent with local needs.
Funding is currently distributed 1/6v per year over 6-years,delaying project implementation.
B. Increase transportation revenue and funding sources to enhance the ability of the region to
implement its transportation plans
1. Support increased funding for transportation purposes, including: bond measures, indexing or
increasing the fuel tax, defining the fuel tax as a "User Fee" to allow increases at the state or regional
level based on annual findings of needs, or other means as appropriate.
Current funding is insufficient to meet maintenance,rehabilitation,and capacity improvement needs statewide.
2. Support or seek legislation to provide an increase in dedicated funding for local street and road
maintenance, other than through the State Highway Account(SHA).
Dedicated funding is seriously deficient for road maintenance, and the necessary funding should not come from
sources estabrished formajor capital Improvements.
3. Support legislation to stabilize and increase funding the Public Transportation Account (PTA) in order
to support improved and expanded public transit and intercity rail services.
The PTA is significantly deficient in meeting existing needs,limiting any improvement of intercity rail services.
4. Support legislation ensuring transit operations funding (including social services) is commensurate
with demands on public transit by CalWorks and the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA).
Funding for existing transit services to the general public are limited and should-not be diverted to fulfill the
requirements of new mandates.
5. Support legislation or administrative actions sub allocating Federal "Minimum Guarantee" funds to
regions using the Surface Transportation Program (STP)formulas.
Funding to local agencies is 40•/"less than expected under TEA21 due to State policy on sub allocation.
*6. Support legislation to restore the ability of regions to enact local option transportation sales taxes wi'
a majority vote.
The two-thirds vote requirement to approve sales tax measures is a significant limitation on the ability of regions
to provide funding for legitimate local transportation maintenance and improvement purposes.

SAN LUIS OBISPO COUNCIL OF GOVERNMENTS
YEAR 2000 FEDERAL LEGISLATIVE PROGRAM
OBJECTIVES & POLICIES
(Adopted February 2000)
A. Protect, enhance, and maximize the flexible use of current funding levels for transportation
programs.
1. Support efforts to bring transportation appropriations to the region up to authorized levels in the
Transportation Equity Act for the 21 st Century (TEA 21).
Actions are needed to assure that budgetary challenges to the funding"guarantees"are not successful.
2. Support efforts to take transportation and aviation trust funds off budget, or insure that their budget
"firewalls" insulate them from raids to fund other programs.
Even with the progress made in TEA-21 to protect transportation funding, removal of the funds from the budget
will guarantee that they are protected.
3. Support continued federal commitment of funds to support public transit, and to assure that California
receives a fair share of the AMTRAK funding resources as compared to the Northeast corridor.
Recent attempts to reduce funding for public transit and Amtrak service are unfair to California given the
significant amount of funding that has been spent in Eastdm states in the past.
B. Increase transportation revenue and funding sources to enhance the ability of the region to
implement its transportation plans.
1. Seek funding for airport ground access and other airport development needs in the region.
The region is justified in seeking an increased share of Federal funding for much needed airport improvements.
2. Seek a fair share of federal discretionary funding made available for transportation programs and
projects in TEA 21.
Actions should be taken to assure that California and our region receive a fair share of the over$21 billion in
funding for 20 discretionary programs included in the new transportation act.
3. Support tax benefits and/or incentives for transportation demand management programs and
alternative fuel programs to promote the use of public transit.
Provision of more favorable tax treatment of alternative transportation subsidies for employees and employers
will help to achieve trip reduction goals.
4. Sponsor action to designate that portion of Route 1 through San Luis Obispo County between the City
of San Luis Obispo and the Monterey County Line as a National Scenic Byway or All American
Roadway.
The highway was designated a State Scenic Route in 1998; receiving the above Federal designation allows the
highway to be eligible for Federal Scenic Byway funding.
C. Reform administrative policies and procedures to improve the efficient and effective delivery of
transportation projects, programs and services.
1. Support legislation ensuring coordination of transportation and social service agency funding between
Depts. of Transportation and Health & Human Services.
Currently, each Federal agency provides transportation funding or places demands on transportation without
coordination,duplicating efforts and increasing costs.
2. Support legislation reforming the administrative procedures of the Fed. Hwy. Admin. (FHWA), Fed.
Transit Admin. (FTA), and Env. Protection Agency (EA) to expedite project review.
The current review process typically adds 18-24 months processing time.
L3 & L4-7
C-2-4
C. Reform administrative policies and procedures to improve the efficient and effective delivery of
transportation projects, programs and services.
1. Support legislation or administrative reforms enhancing Caltrans project delivery, including
simultaneous environmental and preliminary engineering studies, and a reasonable level of
contracting out of appropriate activities to the private sector.
Caltrans project delivery process is extremely lengthy,major projects typically require 10 years of processing to be
delivered.
2. Monitor state high-speed rail program process, and take actions to ensure that any statewide ballot
measure provides funding to upgrade service in the Coast Rail Corridor.
The proposed High Speed Rail program will cast in excess of$20 billion,to be funded with a Statewide tax increase.
if it proceeds,$650 million worth of improvements in Coast corridor are proposed for inclusion.
3. Seek an administrative policy revision to redirect the 15% of all Federal Transit Administration (FTA)
Section 5311 funds now required to be allocated under the Intercity Bus Program to discretionary
grants for rural transit capital projects.
Existing State and Federal funds for capital replacement on non-urban public transit systems are insufficient
4. Seek a broader definition of local support in the FTA Section 5311 program allowing operating funds
to include fares, agency and private contributions.
Current policy restricts transit providers from applying all available funding toward the 20%local match for
operational grants.
5. Seek or support legislation to allow licensed Consolidated Transportation Services Agency (CTSA)
vehicles access to school sites.
Current law prohibits CTSAs from serving school sites even though vehicles and drivers are fully tested and
licensed.
D. Establish policies and programs to provide local governments with the resources necessary to
effectively implement their community development plans.
1. Support measures to restore local governments property tax revenues used for general fund ,
purposes, including road rehabilitation and maintenance.
Diversion of funding by State in past has seriously impacted local governments.
2. Oppose unfunded mandates on local government, and support legislation that would prohibit the
passage of legislation that imposes new unfunded mandates.
imposition of new requirements on local jurisdictions without providing a funding source is inappropriate.
3. Monitor and advise on legislation regarding regional collaboration & partnerships, "Smart Growth",
regional efforts in housing, intergovemmental cooperation, and governmental restructuring.
Major initiatives related to local and regional growth policy are expected to be pursued during the next two years.
4. Monitor and support State legislation providing additional funding to local agencies for affordable
housing.
Many local jurisdictions lack adequate financial resources and/or program incentives to pursue effective low and
moderate-income housing programs.
5. Seek legislation to authorize relinquishment of portion of a state highway as requested by a local
jurisdiction, or to authorize and/or direct Caltrans to transfer its liability, responsibility, and design
authority for a portion of a state highway to a designated local jurisdiction for community design
improvements.
There are at least two locations on state highways in the region, including Route 58 in Santa Margarita,and Route
227 in Old Town Arroyo Grande,that are candidates for this action.

HIGHWAY 101 - CUESTA GRADE
• NORTH OF SAN LUIS OBISPO, PM 32.3 to 35.5
• Project: The Cuesta Grade widening primary goal is to improve the flow of traffic
on a Highway 101 over the Cuesta Grade. The $38 million project will add truck
lanes, and eight-foot shoulders, from near the red Victorian house on the south
Temporary brake check areas are now open.
Phase 1 of the project is estimated to take 16 months, weather permitting, and will
include building seven retaining walls and a section of the new southbound lane.
During the first phase, two northbound and two southbound lanes will be shifted
east, toward the hillside. A temporary concrete barrier— known as K-rail_will be
erected in the median and between the southbound lanes and the construction
zone. A toll-free information line is set up to provide motorists with the latest news
regarding the project. The number is (800) 984-8006. A site on the World Wide
Web, www.cuestagrade com includes project facts, status reports, a timeline tracking
the progress of the project, and traffic reports.
❖ Traffic Controls: Caltrans is committed to ensuring that during peak commute
times two lanes remain open in the direction of heaviest traffic. Stage 1 lane shift is
in place with temporary K rail. Occasional lane closures may occur. Bicyclists and
pedestrians must bypass the construction zone by using Old Stagecoach Road,
which will be closed to vehicle traffic.
• Resident Engineer: Tim Campbell
• Contractor: Modem Continental and Roadway a Joint Venture,
Boston, Mass.
• Construction Costs: $38 Million

TO: Council Colleagues
FROM: Dave Romero 2:�e
SUBJECT: Orcutt Road Overpass
For many years progress on constructing this overpass has languished due to the City's reliance
on funding from the PUC grade separation program. It is obvious that with the few trains and
relatively light vehicle traffic we may have a very long wait to qualify.
There is currently a significant infusion of funds for highway purposes, which the SLOCOG is
now in the process of programming. In my discussions with Ron DeCarli,Director of SLOCOG,
it would appear that SLO could easily qualify for funding to assist in advance development,
environmental, and preliminary engineering work. However, submittals must be made almost
immediately in order to qualify for the current cycle.
It is my belief that the City should pursue this approach for funding and make the construction of
this overpass a high priority in our capital program. I, therefore, request that the Council direct
staff to proceed as rapidly as possible with funding requests, and that property acquisition and
construction of the grade separation structure be considered as a high priority in the next CIP.

To: Council Coll s e, Ewan Marx and Romero
From: Ken Sch
Copies: L Dann, K ian, A Jonas,N. Havlik, M McCluskey,J. Moss
Attached, in case you missed them, are two articles from today's Tribune, one headlined
"Cal Poly to unveil new master plan,"and the second entitled, "University will seek
residents' input."The second article notes that the current Campus Master Plan was
developed in 1963 without benefit of an EIR as they were not a requirement at that time.
This forthcoming update and E13L review offers the City a first ever opportunity to work
with Cal Poly in an effort to resolve mutual problems in a ppWrehensive fashion.
Linda Dalton, Cal Poly's vice provost for Institutional Planning is a professional planner,
former member of Seattle's planning commission and former chair of Cal Poly's City and
Regional Planning department. She is well versed in both planning theory and practice.
With her background and leadership we should be seeing a well-considered campus
master plan. Even so,we cannot expect that the plan will reflect complete solutions to
the all of the impacts that the development of Cal Poly over the years has wrought on our
city.
I believe that the City should respond to the plan and E1R with one voice. In order to do
I
I propose that the Council direct staff to place Cal Poly's master plan and EIR on a
that
study session as soon as practical after release of the plan and EIR. I would like
to see that study session limited to this one topic only. I should like to see the staff listed
above prepared to discuss at that study session the ramifications of the plan and EIR on
their particular areas of expertise: community planning/housing/neighborhood impacts;
environment;traffic,transit, circulation, flooding; and water and sewer services.
I will make this request formally under the `Communications' section of our February
29's Council meeting.

RE: Gazette Discriminator} Policy 17 0 PERS DIR
As you know,the Gazette has recently declared that as a matter of policy it will not
publish anything about gays, lesbians or homosexuality, unless it is something negative. Many
employees have quit the publications inprotest over this policy. Many advertisers have
withdrawn their business. Many "guest columnists" have declined to continue participating as
long as this policy is in place.
Members of the public have raised the issue of whether or not the City Council will
continue to write their"Palm Street Perspective"columns. In my opinion,we should not write
these columns, as long as their discriminatory policy is in place. Giving the Gazettes the
exclusive right to publish our words creates the impression that the City endorses discrimination
against people on the basis of gender. This is not true, and I believe it is incumbent upon us to
set the record straight now by ending the Gazette's "Palm Street Perspective."
I would like to continue writing the columns,but find another publisher who does NOT
discriminate as a matter of policy.

SUBJECT: Report from Auto Dealer Subcommittee
Inst November we reported that the prospect for expanding the auto center on the McBride
property was not promising.. Consequently, we asked the Council to direct staff to complete an
analysis of alternatives beyond those currently set forth in the General Plan for auto dealer
locations in the City.
Recently, a new proposal has surfaced for the McBride property. Although it is not without its
challenges, it is certainly more promising than earlier ideas. Staff intends to bring the concept to
the full Council for review most likely in April. If the Council finds the overall concept
acceptable, staff will ask for direction to proceed to more formal negotiations.
As the recent-review of the Ten Year Financial Plan Forecast so clearly demonstrated, auto sales
are crucial to our financial health and this issue warrants the involvement and attention of the full
Council,and not only the subcommittee. The purpose of this communication is simply to let you
know of this changed circumstance, and to give the Council a"heads-up" that the matter will be
on a forthcoming agenda,most likely in April. The report on alternative sites will also be
included in this staff report(presently none of these alternative sites are specifically zoned for
auto dealers).

An issue has been raised whether a non-member of the SLO County Visitors &Conference
Bureau should be included in referrals by the VCB. Please see the attached correspondence
between Embassy Suites Hotel and the VCB.
I would ask the City Council to direct the Promotional Coordinating Committee to review these
concerns and to develop a response, bringing their recommendation back to the City Council.

Dear AlleN
Embassy Suites Hotel as of February 1,2000 has decided to cancel our membership in the San
Luis Obispo Visitors and Conference Bureau. This decision was originally based on a report of
an n1dependent marketing firm stating that the VCB should be government funded and not
necessarily a membership organization.
As a business we took a bard look at our annual investment in membership dues of close to
$2500.00 and felt that we were not getting our return on investment. Over the years the VCB's
budget has increased it's administrative cost and put less in direct advertising and marketing. We
made a decision to direct our membership dues towards advertising and marketing the group
business in Sacramento and throughout the state ourselves.
When we inquired as to what benefits we would lose as members, Jomu Biaggm the Executive
Director of the SLOVCB serrt me a letter. As the letter states we will no longer receive referrals
which could become a substantial tax revemre loss to the city.
I felt you should be aware of this not only due to the fact a large arnourd of city funds are given to
the VCB, but also the possibility of lost tax revenues. Should you have any questions please do
not hesitate to contact me.

Mr. John Conner

San Luis Obispo, CA 93405
Dear John.
I appreciate the opportunity to detail the VCB membership benefits that the Embassy Suites has
enjoyed over the past several years. The services of the VCB cover a wide range of promotion
including advertising and direct sales.
Regarding advertising, every member of the VCB receives a listing in the countywide visitor
guide(40,000 circ.)which is distributed outside the county to advertising respondents, at trade
shows, and to various travel planners. The VCB's guide also includes a comprehensive meeting
planning section which includes a description of the Embassy Suites' meeting capabilities.
Our web site continues to be heavily visited. Each member has a listing and free link on the
VCB's web site which receives over 4,000 user session hits per month. Other advertising
opportunities include co-op ad pages in a variety of California newspapers at greatly reduced
rates.
Probably more important to Embassy Suites is the number of referrals that have been sent by the
VCB. These referrals come from a variety of markets, including individual leisure travelers
(both foreign and domestic), tour group series, and association and corporate meetings business.
For calendar year 1999, the leads sent to the Embassy Suites had a potential economic impact to
the City of just over$500,000(see attached list). Our records also indicate that at least 247
referrals have been made to individuals who call our office looking for lodging.
As previously mentioned, these programs are a benefit of VCB membership, which have ceased
as a result of the decision to drop. I sincerely hope that we can change that decision and continue
to serve your needs as well as the needs of the consumer.
We are on the threshold of some significant changes in what the VCB does and how we do it.
Your input could make a significant contribution to that process and have a meaningful impact
on the success of the program. Let me know if there is any other information that I can provide.
kincerely, iaggini

Re: Building Permit Information
We all need more reports to read so I am hesitant tomake this recommendation,but the
one report we don't receive that I would find usefiil is what our Building Department
calls the"Permit Register"—a copy of which is attached.
Why I would find it usefid is two-fold: (1) as I drive through the city I suddenly look up
to see that some construction is commencing—it may be a remodeling,it may be a vacant
piece of property on which foundation trenching is occurring, etc. and I haven't a clue as
to what is going on;(2) I receive phone calls something like this, "Ken,what's that
building going up at First and Main?"or`2Cen, there's a house down the street that's all
tom up,what's happening?"—again, I haven't a clue.
I was talking to Tom Baasch of our Building Department about my dilemma and he
reached over?punched a key on his counter top computer and out flowed this up to the
minute report. As you see,it is a quick summary of all building permits that have been
issued from the first of the month.
My request of the Council is that we ask staff to run off and place copies of the Permit
Register in our boxes twice a month—at the mid point of the month and at the end of the
month. No flourishes,no cover memo,just the report as per the attachment.
I would plan to carry my copy in my car.

SUBJECT: A visory Body Commission & Committee Profiles
We would like to first recognize the dedicated members of the public who have stepped
forward to volunteer their time and expertise to serve on one of our City's Commissions
or Committees. We are very fortunate to have so many qualified and dedicated
candidates from which to choose.
It was brought to our attention during the recent advisory body interview process that a
lack of recognition amongst the public of our volunteer members exists. Several re-
applying commissioners and committee members expressed concern that they were not
recognized in the community, so input was being unintentionally cut off. After some
discussion and thought, it was commonly expressed that member photos and an e-mail
address of the department serving that commission or committee be posted in City Hall,
on the City website, and perhaps in each serving department.
A short bio of Council Members and commissioners/committee members posted on the
website would also prove beneficial in helping our constituents better know their elected
officials and volunteers.
Facilitating the flow of information from the community to our volunteers, and ourselves,
is of the utmost importance as we try to resolve the issues that come before us. Involving
the public in those discussions via our appointed volunteers is one way we can help to
franchise our citizens.
With your concurrence, we recommend that the staff be directed to implement these
suggestions.
Thank you.
